It "Seems" less helpful than what I said but this is what that returned

	Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
	Version: 00
	Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
	Version: A02

I don't think it's specific to this box as it runs the other three (3) OS's 
fine, and did this one well "until" something got "updated" I thought is was  
the kernal, but as you saw from my last post that is identical to Nobal 24.04.3 
(non HWE)

Not Ventoy but do have and tested with a number of "live" OS's on USB including 
the very same ElementryOS

not EndeavourOS but ElementryOS 8.02

tested and working fine on Nobal 24.4.3, Questing 25.10, Win7 & ElementryOS 8 
"before" any updates were applied
